Sad, Senseless and Tragic.

Over 600 Students Attended the prayer service tonight...

Early this morning, a Sophomore from Seton Hall University passed away from a gun shot injury...she was attending an off campus party, 1 mile from campus. Such a senseless, tragic loss. All because someone was not welcomed into this party returned with a gun (he was not a SHU Student). Our son lives off campus, it's very common for upper classmen to move off campus - my heart skipped a beat when I heard about this incident. I was on campus this morning, security was very tight - I immediately knew something was wrong. After finding out about this crime, I called campus security, once assured it was not his house, I finally exhaled... all those other worries I've been consumed with seemed so trivial...the fear of getting "bed bugs", wrong book ordered, stitches from Rugby... Gene phoned me after he and his roommates attended the prayer service...I was so happy to hear his voice! Please keep Jessica's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

About Me

OK.... I like to be around people that DO NOT COMPLAIN... and are positive! (A FINE TRAIT I'VE LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER) I like to always have something to look forward to.... I cherish times with my husband Phil and our son Gene...they are my life! I love to be with my sisters, mother, family and my friends are very important to me. I cherish staying in touch with people...I don't like to ever loose communication with anyone! I feel fortunate to love my work and career! I always want something "cooking". You'll always find a candle burning and music on in my house ~ and you are always welcomed here! I hate to clean my house...but want it clean! LOVE...LOVE our dog (Reilly)~ she's the best! People, not things make me happy.... and I love to be happy and be with people that make me laugh!

Bono..."The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there"

Jimmy Carter..."We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles"

Audrey Hepburn..."For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone. Remember, if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms."

Robert Kennedy..."I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil".
